Sections in this chapter9
- Al-Ghazali, The Incoherence of the Philosophers, introduction and four prefaces: the targets, scope, and adversarial method. The Kamali text hosted by ghazali.org is the accessible version consulted here; its hosting page describes an Urdu intermediary.
- Discussion I: eternity, temporal origination, and will.
- Discussion XIII: divine knowledge and changing particulars.
- Discussion XVII: cotton, fire, ordinary expectations, and alternative accounts of miracles.
- Discussion XX and the conclusion: resurrection and the final religious judgments. Compare Michael E. Marmura's parallel English-Arabic edition when studying technical wording.
